Egads! Sacre' Blu'. I'm relegated to only tying mice that catch fishermen!!! Oh, woe is me! I must concentrate on tying "fishing flies" now.
One-tracked in Wyoming... DonO Hint...make your own rules and then you're only breaking their rules. And who knows, maybe ... P.S. I know Dave Whitlock and Chris Helm personally, as they both have endorsements on my website. They like the way I tie, so I feel OK about that. And I don't disagree with how they tie, we're just different. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neville Gosling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 1:44 PM Subject: RE: [VFB] deer hair rebel Dear Deer Hair Rebel Breaking all the rules might work if all we did was to tie mice (and yours are very good I might add) however, speaking for myself, I want to tie flies that catch fish not fishermen. I tend to agree with Henk and Chris Helm regarding the "advice" or "rules" for spinning deer hair but at the same time nothing including "rules" is cast in stone Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.

I break every rule there is just to make sure I break all the rules. I don't comb out the fuzz, use those threads, tie on a bare hook (legs are attached), pack with a stacker, do two loose wraps, etc. etc. It's these voices in my head telling me not to conform... ( I learned to tie in the 60's, so I naturally buck the establishment) Mice come out OK, too. DOnO -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
